The act, death act 86 of the year 1912, municipality Gorinchem, is the death act of Catharina Johanna Maria Foppen, the wife of Pieter Johannes Koopman. She lived in Woudrichem at the time, but she died in Gorinchem, in what was then district B number 130 - further research showed that this address was the hospital of Gorinchem. Woudrichem is a small city, across the river Merwede from Gorinchem.

The act does not present any special difficulties. The only thing to watch out for is the time of death: ten half zes ure, litt. at half six o'clock. Half six means half an hour before six o'clock, so ten half zes ure is half past five, not half past six.
